1. We assume, that the number 7637.01 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 7637.01, so we can write it down as 100%=7637.01.
4. We know, that x% equals 466.56 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=466.56.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=7637.01
2) x%=466.56
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=7637.01/466.56
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 466.56 is what percent of 7637.01
